I tried Simba's Summer Hybrid Duvet and it kept me cool without a fan
Luxury bedding essentials brand Simba has launched its Summer Hybrid Duvet, a down-like duvet designed for lightweight warmth, and I was one of the first to try it out
Sleeping during the summer has always been a challenge for me, particularly when the heatwave struck and I found myself restlessly tossing and turning all night. However, this changed when I tried Simba's Summer Hybrid Duvet, a down-like comforter designed for lightweight warmth.
The Hybrid Duvet is available in Single, Double, King and Super King sizes, with prices starting from £129. This 4.5 Tog bedding features innovative Stratos technology, which helps hot sleepers like me to settle down for a restful sleep.
As I don't own a cooling fan, the special webbing pattern stitched into the bottom of the duvet serves as an excellent alternative to prevent me from overheating at night.
While a 10.5 Tog duvet is generally considered suitable for year-round use, those who are more susceptible to the cold might want to consider investing in a two-in-one duvet such as the Feels Like Down Duvet Collection from Dusk. Their All Seasons duvet consists of two separate 4.5 and 9 tog duvets, which can be fastened together with buttons.
A single duvet is priced at £66 while a double one is up for grabs for £77, but shoppers can enjoy a 20% discount with the code EXTRA20 at checkout, reported the Mirror.
Previously, I would sleep with open windows and my legs outside the duvet cover, but the noise from traffic and late night pub-goers impacted my sleep quality. Since switching to Simba's Summer Hybrid Duvet, I've experienced some of the most peaceful sleeps, and I slept like a log.
The innovative Simba Renew Bio Fibres fill is a game-changer with its special square stitch design ensuring even coverage, and the fresh cotton cover is so comfortable that it enticed me to forgo the duvet cover. Of course, that means there will be no "breakfast in bed" to avoid catching stains on the white fabric.
However, consumers will be relieved to find out the duvet is machine washable and fit in most domestic washing machines with ease, boasting a fast drying time when the weather is cooperative.
For those who fancy adding a splash of colour or pattern to their bedding, the Night Lark Gingham Print Coverless Duvet in blue and taupe offers a summery touch. Available in both 4.5 and 10.5 tog options with starting prices at £60, it's an appealing choice for diverse tastes.
I'm quite fond of my Simba duvet; however, reactions in my household vary as my brother deems it "too cold" for his preference. He elaborated: "It's nice to sleep in it but after a few hours, I felt cold and had to grab a fleece throw instead. It's too lightweight and I like to sleep with a weighted blanket."
While some may view it as expensive, in my experience, it has spared me the cost of acquiring a cooling fan, which could tack on an additional £100. One satisfied customer exclaimed: "A wonderful duvet, I cannot recommend it more. Just like a feather on top of you, and seems very temperature regulating."
Another chimed in with praise, noting: "Warm yet light and regulates temperature so well. We are using the duvet now when we would have changed to a low tog summer duvet to keep cool. It's not immediately obvious which is the top and bottom side so adding a label which states top and underside would be helpful."

Meghan Markle has officially unveiled the latest drop from her luxury lifestyle brand As Ever, with many of her loyal fans shocked at the inflated prices and availability of her second brand launch. The Duchess of Sussex's second launch includes a selection of new food items, including a swanky apricot spread, a limited edition orange blossom honey, and a brand new Rosé wine, marking her foray into the world of alcoholic drinks, reports the Mirror. The 2023 Rose, which hails from the vineyards of Napa Valley, California, will be sold on As Ever from July 1, with Meghan's eager fans excited about their new summer tipple. As well as a range of new products, various fan favourites have been restocked - including the flower sprinkles, crepe mix, herbal teas, and shortbread cookie mix. While some royal watchers are buzzing with excitement over Meghan's latest line of summer goodies, others have been left scratching their heads by the price. Meghan is flogging orange blossom honey for a whopping $28 (£21), while a pot of apricot jam in her now-trademark 'keepsake' jar will set fans back $14 (£10). International fans have also been let down by the release, as the products are only available for shipping within the United States. The Duchess first teased the sweet treats on her lifestyle brand's Instagram earlier this week, writing in the caption alongside a picture of a stack of pancakes: 'Oh yes, honey …sweet things await. We're bringing back your favorites, plus some delicious surprises you won't want to miss!' In a newsletter to fans, she said: "First off, a sincere thank you for making the debut of As Ever absolutely extraordinary. We had a feeling there would be excitement, but to see everything sell out in less than an hour was an amazing surprise. "We are pleased to share that on June 20th, we're going live with the products you love – plus, some new delicious surprises," adding that "so much love has gone into this". The new release of the new products come after Meghan revealed that she would be focusing more on her lifestyle brand, and not renewing her podcast for a second season any time soon. Speaking candidly on the Aspire podcast with host Emma Grede, Meghan acknowledged "that there is so much excitement and desire for another season" of the podcast, but added, "I need to focus on my business. People seem to forget that very rarely do people see everything that's happening behind the scenes." In addition to Meghan's podcast and lifestyle brand, she is also working on a second season of her Netflix show - With Love, Meghan - which is expected to premiere later this year. Joking with podcast host Emma Grede, Meghan said: "At a certain point, the only thing I want spread thin is my jam."

The feedback from my loved ones was always the same: 'Starting my day with your jam makes me feel happy'.
